(VIIR ABILIA ELIZABETH GRIMES, Ravenswood, W. Va. Miss Grimes entered school in the fall of 1908 and the Seniors were glad to hear she was one of them. She has the name of being very studious and when called upon to recite she recites with as much ease as if she were talking to a friend: she is considered one of the brightest girls in the class, and is a girl worthy of praise. EDWIN HAYSLIP, Huntington, W. Va. Edwin is one of the handsome young “town boys”, loves a great many things including French, German and girls. Spends a great deal of his time loitering in the halls. Says it is easy to make love in German. Janitor in French department, and always tardy. Somewhat shorter than his Heart’s Desire , but she expects him to become taller. He is ambitious and is sure to make a success in whatever profession he may choose. MAUDE HANSFORD, Roxbury, Ohio. Miss Hansford is another new member of the ’09 class. She was in school in Ohio before she came to Marshall. Maude is said to be one of the two pretty Senior girls, and her pretty ways add much to her beauty. She is fine at basket ball, but seldom finds time to practice. We are glad to have her with us. 23

= MARSHALL — ROBERT CLIFTON SPANGLER, Pcterstown, W. Va. Mr. Spangler is the medium through which the famous ’08 class speaks to the students of Marshall. Through him they convey in no uncertain tone the exhuherant spirit and the hearty loyalty characteristic of former days, lie is the personification of all they stood for and strives with all his might to revive the old spirit and to lift the dead hand which holds it enthralled. In everything he shows the energetic spirit of the ’o8’s. lie is student of the classics. 11 is ambition is to acquire a liberal education. 11 is life work will probably be that of a college professor groaning beneath the weight of innumerable degrees. MISS LAURA YOUNG. Palestine, W. Va. Miss Young in becoming a Senior reversed the usual order of things for instead of making the customary circuitous route, she traveled by the most direct way boarding the Senior book without having previously enjoyed the warm atmospheric condition incident to a year’s sailing with the Junior colors flying at the mast head. This argues that she is a valuable member of the class and as such we welcome her. She has a wide circle of friends. In class she is characterized by her readiness to debate and is noted for her ability in that respect. She is an energetic worker for the Y. Y. C. A. and possessed of a noble character and high ideals. MINER FRANCIS SMITH, ’08 E. C. V. P. E. L. S. Winter Term, '08. West Union, W. Va. Miner graduated with the '08’s but decided to spend another year at Marshall before marrying and settling down. M e are glad to have him with us, for he is witty on all occasions, and uses all his sage brush wisdom in telling of his own county—Doddridge. lie enjoys playing basketball and was captain of last year’s team. I le may sometime look over the surveyor’s compass and survey mountain peaks or worlds unexplored and yet unknown to man. Perhaps he will help survey the route for the West Union and Sistersville Railway and it is very strongly hinted that he will locate at the terminus of this route. 22

MARSHALL BEULAH DAVIS. Huntington, W. Va. V. L. S. Class Prophetess. Miss Davis has always resided in Huntington and is well know at Marshall. She came to us from the public school and has distinguished herself by her studious habits. Noted for her wit and humor. Motto: Life is what you make it. and she is fair and fairer than that word of wondrous virtues; sometimes from her eyes, 1 did receive fair speechless messages. JESSE RAYMOND GORDON, Liverpool, W. Va. m was born and reared in Liver-poo. mu j oil are convinced after a few minutes acquaintance with him. that lie lias not absorbed much of the commercialism that the name of his home suggests. He is more than a typical Englishman. His mind is set on the profession of law. To this single purpose he has hitched a strong mind and an unfaltering energy. The combination is irresistible and we warn all obstacles to step aside ete they are topped over and used as his stepping stones. KATHERINE ELDER. Ravenswood, W. Va. What a long name for such a little girl. Although the Elder she is the smallest of the class. Katherine is a graduate of the Ravenswood High School. She entered Marshall at the beginning of the school year. Her greatest trial this year has been occassioned by her room mates, one of whom prefers night to day for her work and the other is a Wolfe”. It was a great consolation to her. when in reading King Lear she found that Shakespeare sympathized with her and had written the following for her benefit. To be a comrade with the wolf and own,—necessities sharp pinch.” 24
